NBC's GENIUS NEW LINEUP

I love conan, my girlfriend, Jennifer, took me to see him w the Flaming Lips & Ice-T & it was fantASStic-I could ramble about how contrived and diluted his comedy writing is, but it's all been said through message board's & TMZ comment sections. Here is a fictitious NBC programming guide, via The Q

Also, check out the Q because Aziz is filling in as a guest blogger this week.

Czech my friend Paul's new video.

Paul Rodriguez is a Photographer/Director from Echo Park/Texas, but more importantly, he's a dear friend. Sweetest dude I know. Here is his newest endeavor.

the great discrepancy

While catching up on the tragedy in Haiti, I came across a disturbing fact buried underneath the disarray of updates, unfortunate testimonies & wretched b-roll footage of lives lost to the forbidding mother we call nature. Although any timely aid is generous in a catastrophe as devastating as the Haitian earthquake, I was confused at the unsubstantial amount sent by the Chinese government(especially when compared to the amount given by the normally self-absorbed area I live in--Orange County, CA).

Today Chinese President Hu JIntao promised to promptly send a team of rescue workers, numbered at 50, to bring along $1 million dollars in aid. While this may be a preliminary pledge, I found it odd that as a world power, their first headline making offering was less than that of Orange County, California. This usually self-serving county, pledged 80 trained workers to aid in recovery efforts, joining 5,000 american troops and $100 million in initial American aid.


A great, albeit pathetic, indicator of pettiness is when Orange County exceeds you in of all things, charity. I bet there's plenty of Chinese business men who deftly throw down a million at the Spearmint Rhino yearly.
